KING STUDIO: Record a Hit Like Your Idol in Just Two Hours
Tucked away in Gangnam, KING STUDIO is the first public facility where global fans step into a real K-pop production line. In the very booths where Korean chart-toppers once sang, visitors work with a multilingual manager, a professional vocal director and Producer Aiden (400+ albums since 2001). The studio’s hybrid analog-digital system, two acoustically tuned rooms and “express album” service let you track, tune, mix and master a cover in under 120 minutes—no prior experience needed.
Think of it as the missing link between a sightseeing stop and a full-blown debut: a “서울에서의 K-팝 녹음 스튜디오” that upgrades any K-pop Tours or Seoul Trip itinerary into a once-in-a-lifetime memory.
Why KING STUDIO Tops the Seoul Experience Bucket List
Day 3 Spotlight: Percy’s “SEULGI – 28 Reasons” Diamond Session
German dancer Percy arrived for his fifth and final recording after two marathon days and four completed songs. Despite the fatigue, he chose Red Velvet star SEULGI’s “28 Reasons”—a track famous for its seductive good-vs-evil storyline.
- Meet the Team – Manager greets Percy, then introduces Vocal Director Ji On and Producer Aiden. A quick chat aligns artistic goals and key pronunciation points (K-팝 팬 경험 한국).
- Studio Tour & Mic Check – Inside Studio A, Percy practices cue-box signals and tests Neumann mics while engineers set compressor thresholds for his baritone range.
3.Targeted Vocal Training – Jisu isolates the breathy whisper of Seulgi’s verse and the chest-voice crescendos of the whistle-laced chorus, drilling vowel shape and diaphragm support.
4.Key Selection & Rehearsal – Vocal Director transposes the instrumental down a semitone after pitch analysis so that the infamous “I kiss your brother” line sits comfortably at F♯4.
5.Part-by-Part Recording – True to SM-style workflow, Percy tracks verse, pre-chorus and hook separately; punch-ins fix sibilants and sustain issues. After 90 minutes, comped takes are printed.
6.Rough Mix & Sweet-Spot Review – Real-time tuning, EQ and reverb create a radio-ready rough mix. Percy evaluates the balance in the control-room sweet spot and approves minor edits for final mastering.
Three days, five songs, one certified Dream Come True.
Song Breakdown: Why “28 Reasons” Hits Different
SEULGI’s solo debut marries groovy bass, eerie whistles and string stabs to portray a lover who is “both angel and villain.” The 28 symbolizes the 28 motivations of a toxic flirtation—and her age at release. Critics hailed the track’s Aaliyah-esque R&B minimalism and its suspense-movie atmosphere.
Key musical moments Percy mastered:
- Duality Concept – Switching from soft whisper to powerful belt mirrors the good/evil conflict.
- Bass-Driven Hook – Heavy sub bass supports Seulgi’s staccato “28 reasons” refrain, demanding precise rhythmic control.
- Final A Cappella Drop-Out – All instruments cut, exposing raw vocals—perfect for showcasing new technique acquired in the booth.
